Deficit Problem, What Deficit Problem?

I have finally realized why we have a deficit problem. The government spending much more than we get in income is not the problem. After all, we can just get Congress to authorize increasing the deficit ceiling so government can continue reckless spending and act like drunken sailors. (My apologies to all sailors) Or we can continue to print money. Remember the Weimar Republic? The fact that the Democrats are accusing the Republicans of cutting Medicare and SS for seniors and using fear mongering to frighten seniors is not the problem. Yes, the Republicans did present a proposed budget that would change some eligibility requirements for those under 55 and not touch those presently receiving benefits now or within 10 years from eligibility. We know that Obamacare cuts $500 Billion from Medicare but is not mentioned by the Democrats or lamestream media. We know a Democratic controlled Senate that has not even attempted to pass a budget in over 2 years is not the problem. Why pass a budget since it may cost seats in the next election. It is better to criticize the opposition with innuendos and falsehoods to scare people. No, the real culprit in all this is Fox News, Talk radio, those mean Republicans and of course those viral, nasty and violent Tea Party Groups that are only demanding an end to deficit spending and following the Constitution.
